I think you're using digital zoom, Annisa. Stick with optical, you won't have that problem!

Nice camera, convienient size, very good quality for price. Offers program & priority modes for more advanced use. Video is very handy and easy to use. Almost instant power on. Not too small, but still fits in pocket and has a nice grip (unlike ultra compacts.) Optical viewfinder is very handy, particularly in bright situations when LCD is hard to see, although parrellex error must be accounted for (as for all range finders.) JPEG artifacting is very low.

Image stabilization is very helpful in low-light / longer zoom, but not a life saver - good shooting technique is still needed!
